Excellent job as always.  Thanks for stopping by here and giving us some insight. Its much appreciated. 

Do you get into the draft hype this time of year? 

Thanks! And actually, no. I dislike the draft and all that leads up to it, to be honest. It's why Paul Dehner Jr. and I make a good team. He loves it. He doesn't particularly care for free agency, and I do ... so if you really pay attention to what we do and when, you'll see he takes the lead in the run up to the draft, and then you'll see me kind of pilot our free agency coverage. Honestly, the first draft I watched in my life was in April of 2015, which was right after The Enquirer hired me and I was paid to do so. Obviously, I do what I have to in that regard to cover the team the best way I (we) can for you, but personally speaking, I really don't like it. But, as long as I cover the Bengals, I will do due diligence to provide the best and most comprehensive coverage of the club you'll find anywhere. At the very least, you all know I look at it very dispassionately and objectively, which is what you want! :-D
